The Dow Jones ended a very volatile week at a very volatile day down 913 points by the

0:16.9

time they rang the bell to stop the bleeding.

0:20.0

The final point closed, 19173.98.

0:24.3

I think you have to go back to December of 2016 to find the Dow closing that low.

0:32.0

Remember that was before Donald Trump became president.

0:35.2

I mean before he took office it was after he was elected but before he assumed the presidency.

0:41.0

And you know the day was particularly volatile because the futures pre-open were up over

1:18.0

1:24.3

That means this was the worst week for the Dow ever when it comes to points.

1:29.6

We've never had a week where the Dow has lost 4,000 points.

1:33.0

Of course the Dow is higher than it's been when it crashed in the past.

1:37.0
